I have NT4.0, latest cygwin, Exceed for X-windows emulation and Exceed telnetd. I let cygwin-setup install 'emacs with X toolkit'. Summary: in my configuration, emacs -nw does not work using telnet. I tried the following: - use exceed to open on xterm on a Linux machine - from there telnet to my NT machine - I execute \cygwin\cygwin.bat to get my cygwin environment this sort of works, but the terminal display rather screwed up - I try to improve on this using export TERM=xterm - I do export DISPLAY=myNT:0 emacs and yes! there comes an X window version of emacs up, just like it happens when I did the 2 above lines on my NT machine locally. (ok, no surprise maybe) - I now do emacs -nw and things go very wrong. emacs does start. You see things happening on the screen, but it's all jumbled up (it's even worse without the TERM statement). I can't really do a thing. When I try to quit with ctrl-X ctrl-C I hear a beep when I press the ctrl-C and that's it. I can't get out. Have to quit telnet by hand. Maybe playing around with the CYGWIN_TTY environment variable would help (but I didn't find any doc on that one). Of course, using another telnetd might also improve matters. (Is cygwin's telnetd good and easy to install these days?)
